Description:

The Agriculture Branch at Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) requires a Thermographic Health Assessment System to improve the detection of mastitis and other health problems in dairy cattle. This fully automated thermographic system provides immediate detection of mastitis allowing AFBI to incorporate mastitis status as a routine parameter measured twice daily, thus allowing greatly improved research capacity than if assessing this by somatic cell counts. In addition, it allows for mastitis detection in non-lactating cows (i.e. dry cows, heifers).
